This would have been nothing and not even a story, except that Rubio had to go call Calibri font “woke” and thereby made this into another opportunity to ridicule his stupid-ass.

Bike shed problem. Rubio isn’t qualified to discuss his actual job so he picks something that’s low impact, low complexity and high visibility. 🙄

Calibri has been the default for MS Office since 2007 (i think they updated last year)

More useless decisions by the Wingdings administration.

14 pt is crazy. Thats like in elementary school when you are first learning to type papers and the teacher tells you that you need a full page and you use 14 pt to make it easier but it still looks like a paper typed by a 3rd grader.
Also, Time New Roman!? It’s like we went 30 years back in time.

Serif fonts like TNR are good for prints, while sans-serif fonts are good for screen work. So I guess we should all invest in paper now.

Just so ridiculous. Governed by idiotic children.

Size 14 is very indicative of how ancient the people in government are. That’s absolutely massive and for blind old people

Yes, at this point nobody knows what “woke” means. But I didn’t have the possibility of a “woke” *font* on my bingo card.

Calibri was chosen because it’s more accessible to people with disabilities. The State Department is actively rolling back accessibility by bundling it with DEI (they call it DEIA) because, you see, caring about people with disabilities is woke and weak.

If Biden did it, it has to be reversed. That’s all.
How often do you think about the Times New Roman Empire?

I fully support Comic Sans as the new official font of the Trump administration. Very fitting.
Although they’ll probably turn to Zapf Dingbats in a few months anyway.

Trump likes his fonts like he likes his girls, 14

Fascism replacing politics with aesthetics once again.

According to Wikipedia, the font is described as being ‘humanist’ in style and having “a warm and soft character.” The State Department got rid of it “to demolish another wasteful DEIA program”. ( Source: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calibri](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calibri) )
Apparently an inanimate font being perceived as ‘warm’, ‘soft’ and ‘humanist’ = DEI, so their logic tracks. What a time to be alive! /s

As someone with macular degeneration, I prefer a font like Calibri. A lot of us are getting older and eyesight is often a problem.

Should we tell them Times New Roman was invented by a gay couple?

Serif fonts (like Times New Roman) are inherently more difficult to read. This is a stupid idea done only because Biden made the change.

What defines a “woke font” other than the previous administration using it? Times is OK, but I’m waiting for them to switch to Cyrillic. They are a Comic Sans administration, though.

New Times Roman has more lethality than Calibri.

They haven’t replaced it with Cyrillic yet.
Repubs have been intellectually and morally bankrupt for as long as I can remember; and that is quite while.
Given the state of our government, I thought wingdings would be more appropriate
Serif he do like it! Rockin’ the cash bar! Rock the cash bar!
Several marketing departments I’ve had to work with demanded we all use a particular font and size, so not unheard of.
But in terms of low hanging fruit solving bigger problems,
This is more like solving a nonexistent issue and forcing others to comply with no return on investment
O. M. F. G !!…. What a fool, and how embarrassing for the country…. A FONT is a DEI issue…what the honest fuck?
Are we betting on when Rubio is no longer white enough?
I gotta say I would hate this… I hate TNR font. I like the simple non-serif (I think?) types.
They need to be using Comic sans if they really want to be taken seriously.
They should switch to Comic Sans.
I wonder if they all refuse to eat peanut butter.
Apparently, this was a move that the hospital Nazis made.
I think it has to do with arbitrary petty bureaucracy that generates cost for no gain either than to generate power buzz for the doer.
An excellent use of government resources. Very critical work to be done.
Pabst Blue Ribbon is the inferior choice, though.
What about Papyrus?

A gold WingDing font matches Don’s walls:

Their fake docs are gonna be a mess…
Petty has lost all meaning with this administration.
So what !?
Trump’s America don’t need to read or write! They don’t want *colibri* or *sens-serif* … They only want the comics with the sheriff! 🙃
